Notes

The tape was flipped during Franklins Tower (disc 2 track 2 at 6:51).
The tape was again flipped in the Space > Not Fade Away transition (disc 3 track 4 at 0:12).
These breaks were spliced together with NERO wave editor.
NERO wave editor was also used to make volume adjustments and to surgically remove distracting claps one at a time.
Finally Audacity was used to dither the files to 16 bit and then the FLAC conversion was performed at level 8.
As a note, the Sony ecm-280 cardiod microphone specification page describes the frequency response as 30 to 18KHz.
No Eq or Noise reduction used.
There is a slight fluttering noise in the master cassettes during the quieter sections.
Thanks to John Musgrave for the use of his recording equipment.
Thanks to Bill Fridl for the permission to use his nice photos from these shows

Lol at the end of Cassidy there is this hilarious moment where you overhear two people discuss the price of 5 grams, followed by some other guy who mentioned "Looks like a chunk of hash to me." Ya you could say it feels like i'm at a dead show, so 5 stars

Attention Dead fans! You want this version of this great show. Better sound than the Holwein recording. Complete, good levels, low hiss. The performance is wonderful. Set 2 pre-drums in particular. This recording puts you right on the floor of the Winterland with the party people, enjoy.
